THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 139 - Fucking Dead
Everyone gaped at Sonia, Matteo included. The bodyguards recovered from their shock quickly enough as they affected their stoic look. “Since you don’t want to be reasonable now, I will go somewhere else to grieve alone. See you later. Love you” Sonia said airily before she turned away from him. She saw the shock on his face at her casual tone but she did not care. Her days of caring were long over. She was finally free to do all she wanted without fear of what that old bastard would do if he found out. “Get that body prepared for the morgue instead of standing there and chattering like old biddies,” she said to the doctors, who were still whispering some things to themselves. They all rushed into the bedroom as if there were hounds of hell on their heels—anything to get away from Matteo’s wrath. “Where do you think you are going?” Matteo’s shock seemed to finally wear off as she was almost at the door. Sonia merely looked back and blew him a kiss before she slipped out of the door

“It’s you” Silas as he looked up from where he was seated on the padded bench meant for waiting families. He had his head between his hands before as he looked intently at the floor. A ruse to hide the fact that he couldn’t stop his tears from flowing.“Yes, it is” Andrea Lopez, one of the deadly duo said, as she looked down at the man who was not embarrassed to show his reddened eyes to her. It was obvious that he had been crying.Andrea sat silently beside him and she slung an arm around him. She pretended not to notice the tremor that went through him as he looked towards the room at the end of the hall with a lighted-up “Emergency Room” on it.“He will be fine,” Andrea said quietly. For once, her sarcastic, cutting tone was nowhere in place as she fixed her gaze towards the opposite direction from the emergency room.“What is taking him so long?” she thought in annoyance before she finally looked at Silas. She realised that he wanted to say something but seemed to be holding himse

“Are you kidding me?” Simon said with the same stoic look on his face. “If I didn’t know that you are so worried about him right now, I will take that as an insult. He will be on his feet in time. Now let me go in there before that man forgets that he was supposed to be out of there in five seconds” he squeezed her shoulder before he opened the door with one hand while removing a mask and gloves from his pocket with the other.“What is…” Silas paused as the director came out of the emergency room, cleared his throat uncomfortably and looked at Andrea before he proceeded on his way without saying anything.“Look at that,” Silas said anxiously when the overhead light changed immediately to “Operation in Progress”Andrea merely nodded and held her arms tightly to her body to prevent herself from wringing her hands. “Simon got this,” She thought to herself. “He got this or I might have to kill him”“What is going on?” Silas’s voice jolted her out of her anxious thought and she almost sna

“I can't; believe this! How is that even possible?! I saw this man’s file” the hospital director’s surprised voice resounded throughout the ward floor and Andrea hope he would just shut the heck up.She wasn’t as annoyed as she would have been by such a loud mouth though. She was elated. Though she wasn’t smiling wildly like Simon was nor was she jubilating like the boss family was, she was indeed happy.Simon had not failed her. He had not failed the sect. Though she was sure of his skill, she had been too concerned when she saw the way Jason was banged up earlier but now, all that was a thing of the past. They just needed to wait for Jason to wake up to ask him what he had seen before he got wiped out. “Which would happen earlier if the director kept going on and on like this? '' she thought in annoyance.Thankfully, the man had gotten hold of himself and at the moment, he was consulting with two other doctors that were with him in Jason’s assigned room. She saw them nod to themsel

If pains were animate, Jason was sure that the one currently dancing Kumbaya in his head would be a sadist. He groaned out loud when he tried to open his eyes and it seemed as if they were stabbed with hot pokers or maybe the loud groan was only in his head? Jason couldn’t really tell. All he knew was that the pain would kill him befire anything else.“Anything else?” he paused in his thoughts. Why did he think…The memories started rushing back so fast that they took Jason’s breath away. The sensation was so gripping, the images so clear that he thought he would die from it even before the impact killed him. Impact! He stopped abruptly even as his breath wheezed in and out. He had an impact! He was shot at! Then…Jason gasped as his eyes jerked open abruptly, the lights burning his eyes even as he strained to see beyound the blindness. There was someone bent over him! The shooter? The shooter is back and he was exposed! He was… what was that sound?“Jason, my dear? Please calm down.
THE GRAND PATRIARCH IS BACK Chp 144 - Dewy-eyed Mia
“She…she said she was busy?” Jason asked in disbelief. He never thought that it will be this painful to hear what they just said to him. Charlotte was contacted when he was still unconscious and according to his family, she had been too busy to spare the time to come over. Jason had no idea what he had been expecting but it sure wasn’t what he heard.He had no idea that Charlotte could be so callous. For a moment, he thought they had something vital. For a moment, he thought he knew her.“I told you she is an old-ass bitch” Mia added, right before she threw a slice of mango in her mouth.“Mia!” Celia said in reprimand.“Okay, okay. Chill out, mum. I am not going to say it but then I will think about it” she said with a mischievous smile.Celia just sighed and dropped the fruit platter on her hand on the centre table. When Mia reached for it, she slapped her hand away.“Mum!” “Didn’t get it for you. If you want yours, go get it”“Well, I don’t need to. I got Sloane” Mia countered befo

“I am not going to stand for this!” “You? Stand for what? What do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Do you think because you manage to worm yourself into this family now you can have a say? I know women like you and I am not so stupid as my dear nephew! So you shut up your mouth or get out of this meeting!” “Uncle, don’t call me stupid!” Silence ensued in the meeting room of Engorge, the parent company of the Fitzgeralds as everyone looked at Matteo who finally spoke up since the meeting ensued. His uncle gave him a thorough look while trying to rein in his anger and Sonia felt disgusted by the way the man physically passed a fake smile on before he turned towards Matteo. “Of course, my dear nephew. You know I wouldn’t call you that on a normal day but then it was this…this woman of yours that provoked me” his uncle stated with a caustic look at Sonia. “You mean because I dared to talk at all? Because I am not just sitting there like your “dear” little nephew and watc

Jason jerked out a wet, steamy dream that featured Charlotte prominently in different angles and positions that he had never even had the chance to explore with her in real life.“Oh, fuck it!" He muttered savagely when he realised that he was aroused and ready to go. Fantasizing about a woman who wanted nothing to do with him and gave no damn whether he was dead or alive was certainly not the best way to spend his time at all. He thought to himself as he flipped the bedsheet off himself, pulled his pants off on his way to the bathroom and he got under the full blast of a cold shower.“So much for I will not think about her,” he thought to himself in self-mockery and firmly shut his mind on the image that intended to rear its head in his mind. The image of a certain, Korean beauty. He had a lot to do that day and he was damn well going to get it done without going down memory lane. It’s been about two months since he left Montreau, a little less than two months since Mia called Charl

Chp 316 - Epilogue
The latest of the scandals related to the Monroes was the handover event that turned out to be more than everybody expected. But instead of the event turning out to be the most humiliating for Jason as his enemies expected, it turned out to be the greatest positive publicity that he had ever gotten. Nationally and internationally, people were talking about the man who smartly outwon his evil relatives and helped the FBI and two national police to solve cases that had been open for ages. Sales in Paragon Heights and all their subsidiaries skyrocketed and their shares grew so fast that Paragon Heights' worth went from five trillion dollars to forty-eight trillion dollars in no time, with more potential. Paragon Heights became the Holy Grail of business in California and all over the world. They became the first conglomerate on permanent contract slots for the UN and many international organisations. Jason’s fame as a capable, family-minded, CEO grew with his sophisticated wife, Millice

Sonia opened her eyes and looked at him “A silly whim that I regret a lot now. I was to select a new face. Then I suddenly showed the doctor Millicent face on the phone that I wanted that. At that moment, it was to get back at her for having what I would never have - Jason, I mean. But eventually, I realise that in a silly way of mine, I was probably hoping that some of her goodness will rub off on me. Stupid, isn’t it?” she asked him with a smile, then look away again when his expression didn’t change. “Sorry,” she muttered. “You said she is happy?” he asked suddenly. She looked back at him with a questioning look on her face “With Jason. You are sure that her happiness was not just a show? She wasn’t just acting?” Sonia scoffed “Acting? She would be an idiot not to jump excitedly anytime she remembers that he belongs to her” She saw the look on his face and quickly said “Oh, I am sorry. I mean. She is very happy. She loves him. Any idiot could see that. Even when I was trying to c

Just as Millicent was settling down in her newly decorated office befitting a chairwoman; a woman who looked just like Millicent, until closely scrutinised, laughed out loud in a penthouse in Montreau. Bastion Alverro, current Capomandamento of the Alverro family gave her an askance look before asking “What is so funny in what I just said?” The woman continued laughing while trying so hard to curb her mirth “I…I am so sorry. I just couldn’t help it. Who would have thought that a powerful man like you would be a child at heart? I mean, who else would chase after someone this hard and for this long because of a silly dream?” she laughed again. Bastion looked at her again and said slowly “Something is different. Your face, that laugh. It is different” he said thoughtfully. “Oh, thank God. Finally, somebody with half a brain. I mean, I am sorry I am not trying to tell you that you have only half a brain. I am just…I was trying to tell those morons, who grabbed me that I am not that st

The drama of the morning only seemed to increase as Jasmine burst into their room, just as Millicent finished dressing. She had been distracted by Jason and dressing up had eventually taken more than an hour. Sending up a prayer to the heavens that she was fully clad, she turned towards the girl and smiled “Hey, beautiful. What’s up? What is with the rush?” “Grandpa is here,” Jasmine said excitedly. “He brought a woman with him” “Brought a…Heinrich is here?” Millicent asked in surprise. “Yes, he is. He wants to see Daddy and Isabel was acting weird” Jasmine said thoughtfully. “Oh yes, weird is the least of it,” Millicent thought anxiously. Then to Jasmine, she said “Go and tell Heinrich that we will be there soon” Jasmine skipped out of the room, her school tie swinging like a pendulum on her neck. Millicent turned to face Jason as he came out of the bathroom. He looked toward the door and asked “Was that Jas?” “Oh, it certainly was. And…well, you have a visitor” Millicent sai

“You were tossing and turning all night” Jason said to Millicent as she opened her eyes the following morning. He had been watching her for a while. “Uh? Oh, is that so?” Millicent said as she raised her head to accept Jason’s kiss “Hmm, this is surely the best way to wake up” she said as she held him tightly to herself and deepened the kiss. They were both breathing hard when they separated. Jason flopped back on his back, with his hand gently playing with Millicent’s hardened nipples. “Now, that is the best way to wake up,” he said with a chuckle. “No complaints from here,” Millicent said with a smile, then she stood up. Jason turned towards her direction and asked “Now, will you tell me what is wrong? You only toss and turn like that when you have something weighing on your mind. Is this about what I told you? About Silas?” Millicent’s eyes widened as she said “What? No, no. That is not... I mean, yes, what happened to your brother is… well, totally surprising. But I know you

“What?! Since when?” Mia’s shock-laced question resounded throughout her office floor. She looked aside to see some of the employees passing and they paused to look at her. She quickly waved at them with a smile that all was fine and hurriedly went to her door to close it. She turned back, put her phone on speaker and dropped it on her table before she said “Silas Benjamin Rouarke, what the hell are you talking about?” “Wow, that judgy tone of yours is really helpful right now, sister” Silas’s voice resounded in her spacious, elegantly furnished office. Mia raked her hand through her hair, then turned back to say “Oh, helpful? You want help? You had better hope that the host of heavens come down to help you when mom hears about this…this madness of yours!” she snapped at him. “You know what? I really do not have time for this. I must have been mistaken when I thought that I will get a little support at least from you before I talk to Jason and Mom. Guess not. Thanks for nothing” “

“That was not how I expected that brunch to go” Jason said as they got back home that day. “Yeah, you and I both” Millicent said as she went straight to the fridge to take bottled water. “You want some?” she asked Jason but he merely shook his head before he flopped onto the bed. “Poor Simon. He was beside himself with worry and guilt that he should have noticed that she was not herself” Millicent shook her head as she went to sit by him. “I am not sure he could have known when a strong-willed woman like Andrea was determined to hide something like that from him. You should have seen the look on her face before she left that restroom though. She was terrified yet showed a brave face” Jason laid his hand on Millicent’s belly as he said “I am sure they will figure out the best way to go about this and we will be there to help them with whatever they need as well” Then he sighed before saying “Does it make me a terrible person that I am glad that we do not have to worry about such a

Chp 309 - Cancer And Pregnancy
The Monroes had a celebratory brunch with Heinrich, the deadly duo, and Anastasia the following day. Heinrich invited them to his home to celebrate his clean bill of health and the promotions. The doctor informed him the day before that the toxins in his system had been finally gotten rid of. Also, the neurotoxicity potency had been curbed to a minimal level. Though he still had to take medication for the rest of his life, new research funded by Jason was already underway on how to completely cure neurotoxicity. So they were all optimistic that he would be totally fine and free of medications soon. They all arrived for the brunch in high spirits. Everyone was still happy about the turn of events in the company. The deadly duo and Anastasia marvelled at the magnificence of Heinrich’s home. Then they all settled down to the magnificence spread provided by Heinrich’s cook and his assistants. Mouthwatering biscuits and gravy complimented the no yeast, French toast bagels so well, yet the
